I would love to see the sea reptiles in this game actually come up to the surface and get a gulp of air and then return underwater. Kind of having more realistic Behavior. Also it would be cool to see Plesiosaurus and it's relatives putting their heads above water while sleeping.
Lagoon feedback and ideas
- Thread starter Amikuq
- Start date
Love those ideas. Would really like to see spout-breaches when they take breaths like whales do as well. It only makes sense.
I´m Dissapointed Thats we will not get Natural lagoons as Placeable Objects in the Free Update, but I´m very curios about the One new Map With an Natural Lagoon !!!
If This Lagoon has new Plants ( Kelp forrest) and "BIG Underwater ROCKS " it could be my Fafourit Map For "Lostworld" Side B Style isles, and there could be a chance that Placeable Natural Lagoons for at least some of the other existing maps ( f.e. Germany) will come to us in the Future.

I wish that the natural lagoon had some natural features beyond it's exterior, differentiating it from a regular lagoon. There are no large rocks in it. There is no kelp swaying thru the water. There are no caves or caverns. There is no wildlife inside the lagoon that could cohabitate with the marine reptiles. There could have been more shallow water by the shore and deeper water as it goes further from shore. I'm happy the lagoon exists, and it is quite beautiful, I just feel it was not used to its full potential.
I wish there were schools of different types of fish. Maybe sharks swimming from time to time, regenerating only after the carnivores hunted the previous sharks in the lagoon. It would have been nice to have aquatic plants debut in the game, to make the natural lagoon look more natural.

Not only that, but the map with a natural lagoon could have been bigger for land exhibits as well featuring marine fencing. We could also get spaces on the: Isla Sorna Site B, UK, San Diego, Oregon, Washington, Canada maps to serve as natural lagoons utilizing the nearby bodies of water. I understand that the water bodies inland tend to be sweet water and while the marine reptiles could live in those, the fishes would have to be different.
That request is hard as it would require that multiple save files be modified in order to have it working properly without issues.
If I'm not mistaken there is a lagoon that is immensely deep and the water is so transparent that everyone thinks that the water reaches the belly.

It´s really sad to see that after over 1 Year there is still no option for the Lagoons to place Kelp forrest or really big rocks or replaceing parts of the logoons walls witch beach/cliffs.
The Naturall lagoon of the new Map looks nice, but its not very smart, that it has this slots for fishfeeder etc without option to get rid of them. I want to be able to build an Site B with natural lagoons without walls/fences !

Yeah, it's crazy how kelp is still missing, when it's even seen in the iconic intro sequence with the Mosasaurus.
Yes, you are 100 % Right!!! Kelp and some big rocks etc. would be the most important upgrades for the Lagoons !
Some new animations for the Marine reptiles ....like Delphinelike jumping of the Ichtysaurs or high jumping to splash in the water like humpback whales would be nice !
orcas skratch their sides against rough ground to get rid of skinparasites.... that would fit the bill too
!In that same manner, some of the lagoon only decorations would be great for land decorations:
-the spotlights that are aimed;
-the spotlights that are fixed upwards;
-some of the rocks formations (as we cannot pile regular rocks);
For Lagoons:
-kelp;
-more marine creatures (look at the marine roster in JPB and JWTG);
-an underwater map or, a map that is 20% land and we have to use marine fencing to separate enclosures. The monorail stations can be placed normally and when you place them in set locations (think re proposed oil rig platforms) we can build regular buildings. Boat tours would be a must and no, I am not referring to the San Marie Bay map. That map has potential to be better but having the natural lagoon be open is pretty unrealistic.

Yes.... indeed!
While the new update will bring some good features one could get the fealing that Frontier really struggles to give new Attractions an Deco to the Lagoons !
Maybe in next update there could be an underwatertunnel like the T-Rex Log
! ....or an underwaterdome ! At least one Boattour for Lagoons and/or shallow water of the enclosoures would be so owesome !!!!
The very same building would not make much sense, but yeah, a similar underwater viewing dome as well as underwater tunnels would be simply amazing.
I want that so badly.
Kelp and sea grass is also sorely missed still.
I love the new viewing log and dome, and I think this Feathered Species pack and Update 6 show that Frontier can do 'theme' updates and not just stick with JP IP or Dino Eras. I think they know the community want a lagoon viewing dome / cage / tour, it could just be whether it's a priority with JP30 coming soon and anything else they might have plans for
Yes, a shame.
Nice. I would also like to see aquatics attack guests.My main feedback for lagoons is that they are hard to see them from overhead or from viewing galleries because of how murky the water is. If possible, make the water less murky and more clear so it will be easier to see them. This could be why there are no decorations for the lagoons right now- it’s too hard to see kelp or rocks.
The shark feeder could be useable by other large marine carnivores, so it has more use besides the mosasaur.
Ideas:
Landscaping brushes or placeable items in lagoons. Kelp forests, corals, smaller schools of fish and rocks that they swim around are all ideas to make it look more natural.
Larger viewing galleries- the current ones are nice but being able to make wider and bigger ones will improve out view when we look out of them- plus the current sized ones seem small compared to how big lagoons can get.
Floating islands:
You are able to place a piece of land in a lagoon that can be terraformed and have rocks/ trees added to it. You can connect it to a bridge that goes over the lagoon or choose not to. The largest size can have a hotel or guest amenity buildings on it. So you can use them for decoration or for guests. Maybe even having a land animal paddock on it. The size of the island will reduce the total lagoon size so you may need to make the lagoon bigger to accommodate the animals living in them.
Tour tunnels and underwater domes:
Being able to see our lagoons from below might be even better in terms of lighting and seeing the dynamic animations. For tunnels there can be two kinds:
Pedestrian tunnels- where it goes from one side to another allowing access to different parts of the park. Foot traffic only. From either side of the tunnel guests have a view of the lagoon.
Vehicle/ Monorail tunnels- Where tour vehicles and the monorail can cruise through a tunnel to give a great view of the animals. Vehicles/ monorail only. From either side of the tunnel guests have a view of the lagoon.
My favorite- a underwater dome. A dome needs one connection to a path/vehicles tunnel and it can be in different sizes. The largest size domes could have amenities, decorations and small hotels inside- how cool would it be to eat lunch underwater or look out your hotel window to see marine animals? Domes, like tunnels, are on the bottom of the lagoons. A large dome will take swimming space away from a lagoon so it will have to be built even bigger to accommodate the animals. You can connect a foot traffic and a vehicles tunnel to it.
**EDIT I changed "Bubbles" to "underwater domes" as that makes much more sense. Lack of coffee in the morning
Dear Team of JWE2....... please give the Lagoons and Aviaris finally a bit more love !
1. Kelb (without hitbox !) for decoration
2. High rocks with hitbox like The Sharkfeeder
3. A bit clearer water ( my by Filteroption for tuning?) or real bright spotlights ....
4. A Submarine for the Rangers or guest like in the beginning from JW II ! ( could be a skin for the ROV we have ingame ! )
5. The nice rocky shores of the natural Lagoon from Malta dlc optional for parts of our bigger lagoons !
6. Waterfalls as natural Looking fountains for lagoons and Placeable like the rocks in Aviarys and shellow water of the normal enclosoures
7. Riverride ( like "JW the Ride") boats for lagoons and shellow waters ( With gates to combine them .....like in the real Ride !
8. Helli vip Tour as shown on signs and flaggs in JW !

Could all the lagoon decorations be land decorations as well? I think if we had more decorations to surround the lagoon outside, it would bring more life to the lagoon. Since the decorations exist, just make versions of them that could be placed on the ground to decorate the lagoon entrance.
